Reception
[edit]Srivathsan Nadadhur of The Hindu wrote that "KA is not without its shortcomings, though they pale in comparison with the ambition in the writing and technical finesse. It is a thriller with a difference".[11] Sashidhar Adivi of Times Now rated it three out of five and wrote that "KA is an interesting take on the thriller genre, blending suspense and philosophical ideas in an engaging way. Though it has a few shifts in tone and issues with writing, the story doesn’t deviate from its purpose of establishing how the ‘concept of life’ eventually catches up with you".[12]
